This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62/744,622, filed on Oct. 11, 2018, in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, and Korean Patent Application No. 10-2018-0122040, filed on Oct. 12, 2018, in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, and all the benefits accruing therefrom under 35 U.S.C. § 119, the content of which is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference.

BACKGROUND 1. Field

The present disclosure relates to a cathode and a lithium-air battery including the cathode.

2. Description of the Related Art

A lithium-air battery uses lithium metal as an anode active material and does not need to store air as a cathode active material in the battery, and thus a battery having high specific energy may be provided.

The lithium-air battery has a high theoretical specific energy of 3,500 Wh/kg, which is about ten times greater than that of lithium-ion batteries.

A cathode of a lithium-air battery may be manufactured by mixing a carbonaceous conducting agent, a binder, and the like. However, the carbonaceous conducting agent and the binder may easily decompose due to the generation of a radical accompanying an electrochemical reaction during charge and discharge of the lithium-air battery. Accordingly, the lithium-air battery including such a cathode is prone to deterioration.

Therefore, there is a need for a cathode that is chemically stable against the radicals generated in the electrochemical reaction.

SUMMARY

Provided is a chemically stable cathode.

Provided is a lithium-air battery including the cathode.

Hereinafter, embodiments of a cathode and a lithium-air battery including the cathode will be described in greater detail.

According to an aspect, there is provided a cathode using oxygen as a cathode active material and including a lithium-containing metal oxide.

The lithium-containing metal oxide included in the cathode may be structurally and chemically stable. The cathode including the lithium-containing metal oxide may be suppressed from being decomposed by such as radicals accompanied by electrochemical reaction, unlike a cathode including a carbonaceous conducting agent. Accordingly, a lithium-air battery including the cathode according to an embodiment as described above may have improved charge and discharge characteristics. The lithium-containing metal oxide may be an oxide of at least one metal which is not lithium.

The lithium-containing metal oxide may be, for example, a crystalline lithium ion conductor. The lithium-containing metal oxide including lithium and having crystallinity may provide a migration path for lithium ions. Accordingly, the lithium-containing metal oxide may be a lithium ion conductor. Since the lithium-containing metal oxide is a lithium ion conductor, the cathode may not further include an electrolyte.

The lithium-containing metal oxide may include, for example, at least one of a spinel compound, a perovskite compound, a layered compound, a garnet compound, a NASICON compound, a LISOCON compound, a phosphate compound, a tavorite compound, a triplite compound, an anti-perovskite compound, a silicate compound, or a borate compound. Due to the inclusion of these compounds as the lithium-containing metal oxide, the decomposition of the cathode by such as radicals accompanied by chemical reaction may be more effectively suppressed.

The lithium-containing metal oxide may include at least one spinel compound of spinel compounds represented by Formula 1 and Formula 2, respectively.

Li_(1±x)M_(2±y)O_(4−δ)  Formula 1

Li_(4±a)M_(5±b)O_(12−δ)  Formula 2

In Formulae 1 and 2, each M may independently be at least one metal element belonging to Group 2 to Group 16 of the periodic table of the elements, 0<x<1, 0<y<1, 0<a<2, 0.3<b<5, δ in Formula 1 may be 056253 and b in Formula 2 may be 0≤δ2≤3.

The at least one spinel compound may include a compound having a spinel crystal structure or a spinel-type crystal structure. A “spinel-type” structure means that the compound is isostructural with spinel, i.e., MgAl₂O₄.

For example, in Formulas 1 and 2, M may each independently be at least one of Ni, Pd, Pb, Fe, Ir, Co, Rh, Mn, Cr, Ru, Re, Sn, V, Ge, W, Zr, Ti, Mo, Hf, U, Nb, Th, Ta, Bi, Li, H, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Ca, Sr, Ba, Y, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Pm, Sm, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Mg, Al, Si, Sc, Zn, Ga, Rb, Ag, Cd, In, Sb, Pt, Au, or Pb; 0<x<1, 0<y<1, 0<a<2, and 0.3<b<5, and in Formula 1, 0≤δ≤1 and in Formula 2, 0≤δ≤3.

The at least one spinel compound may be represented by Formula 4.

Li_(4±a)Ti_(5−b)M_(c)O_(12−δ)  Formula 5

In Formula 5, M may be at least one of Cr, Mg, Ca, Sr, Sc, Y, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu, Zr, Hf, V, Nb, Ta, Mo, W, Mn, Tc, Re, Fe, Ru, Os, Co, Rh, Ir, Ni, Pd, Pt, Cu, Ag, Au, Zn, Cd, Hg, Al, Ga, In, Tl, Ge, Sn, Pb, Sb, Bi, Po, As, Se, or Te; and 0.3<a<2, 0.3<b<2, 0.3<c<2, and 0<δ≤3.

δ may represent a content of an oxygen vacancy. For example, 0<δ≤2.5, 0<≤≤2, 0<δ≤1.5, 0<δ≤1, or 0<δ≤0.5.

For example, in X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectra of the spinel compound of Formula 4, a ratio (I_(a)/I_(b)) of a peak intensity (I_(a)) of the (111) crystal plane at a diffraction angle (2θ) of about 18°±2.5° to a peak intensity (I_(b)) at a diffraction angle (2θ) of about 23.5°±2.5° may be about 0.001 to about 1, and in some embodiments, about 0.001 to about 0.9, 0.001 to about 0.8, 0.001 to about 0.7, 0.001 to about 0.6, 0.001 to about 0.5, or 0.001 to about 0.4. When a peak intensity ratio of the spinel compound of Formula 1, Formula 2, and Formula 4 is within these ranges, the spinel compound may have further improved electronic conductivity and ionic conductivity.

For example, the spinel compound may further include other phases, in addition to a phase having a spinel-like crystal structure. For example, a mixed conductor, i.e., a material providing both suitable electronic conductivity and suitable ionic conductivity, may include a phase having a spinel-type crystal structure, e.g., a structure belonging to a Fd-3m space group, and at least one other phase, e.g., at least one of Li₂TiO₃, Gd₂Ti₂O₇, GdTiO₃, LiNbO₃, or Nb₂O₅. Due to polycrystallinity and having a plurality of different phases, the mixed conductor may have further improved electronic conductivity and ionic conductivity.

A band gap between valance and conduction bands of the lithium-containing metal oxides of the cathode, e.g., the spinel compounds of Formula 1, Formula 2, and Formula 4 may be, for example, about 0.01 electron volts (eV) to about 2.0 eV, about 0.01 eV to about 1.8 eV, about 0.01 eV to about 1.6 eV, about 0.01 eV to about 1.4 eV, or about 0.01 eV to about 1.2 eV. When a band gap between the valance and conduction bands of the mixed conductor has such a low value within these ranges, migration of electrons from the valance band to the conduction band may be facilitated, and the spinel compound may have improved electronic conductivity.

In the spinel compound of Formula 4, titanium (Ti) may have at least one oxidation number of +3 and +4. For example, as Ti in the mixed conductor has a mixed valence state with multiple different oxidation numbers, a new state density function near the Fermi energy (Ef) is provided, and the band gap between the valence and conduction bands may be reduced. As a result, the spinel compound may have further improved electronic conductivity.

For example, in the spinel compound of Formula 4, M in Formula 4 may have an oxidation number different from at least one of the oxidation numbers of Ti. For example, due to the additional inclusion of M having an oxidation number different from that of Ti in the mixed conductor, an additional new state density function may be observed near the Fermi energy (Ef), and the band gap between the valance and conduction bands may be reduced. As a result, the spinel compound may have further improved electronic conductivity.

The spinel compound of Formula 4 may provide further improved ionic conductivity through the inclusion of an oxygen vacancy. For example, due to the inclusion of an oxygen vacancy in the mixed conductor, the position of the state density function may be shifted closer to the Fermi energy (Ef), and the band gap between the valance and conduction bands may be reduced.

In an embodiment, the lithium-containing metal oxide of the cathode may include a perovskite compound represented by Formula 3.

Li_(x)A_(y)G_(z)O_(3−δ)  Formula 3

In Formula 3, A and G may each independently be at least one metal element belonging to Group 2 to Group 16 of the periodic table of the elements, 0<x<1, 0<y<1, 0<x+y≤1, 0<z≤1.5, and 0≤δ≤1.5. δ may represent a content of an oxygen vacancy. For example, 0<δ≤1, 0<≤≤0.8, 0<δ≤0.6, 0<δ≤0.4, or 0<δ≤0.3

The perovskite compound may be a compound having a perovskite crystal structure or a perovskite-type crystal structure.

For example, in Formula 3, A may be at least one of H, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Ca, Sr, Ba, Y, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Pm, Sm, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, or Er; G may be at least one of Ti, Pd, Pb, Fe, Ir, Co, Rh, Mn, Cr, Ru, Re, Sn, V, Ge, W, Zr, Ti, Mo, Hf, U, Nb, Th, Ta, Bi, Li, H, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Ca, Sr, Ba, Y, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Pm, Sm, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Mg, Al, Si, Sc, Zn, Ga, Rb, Ag, Cd, In, Sb, Pt, Au, or Pb; and 0.2<x≤0.7, 0<y≤0.7, 0<x+y<1, 0<z≤1.2, and 0≤δ≤1.2.

For example, in Formula 3, A may be at least one of La, Ce, Pr, Gd, Ca, Sr, or Ba; M may be at least one of Ti, Mn, Ni, Ru, Cr, Co, Ti, Ru, Ir, Fe, Pd, Pb, Rh, Sn, V, Re, Ge, W, Zr, Mo, Nb, Ta, Hf, or Bi; and 0.2<x≤0.5, 0.4<y≤0.7, 0<x+y<1, 0.8<z≤1.2, and 0<δ≤1.0.

For example, the perovskite compound may have an ABO₃ phase in which there are vacancies and lithium is arranged at some A sites, and may have an orthorhombic, cubic, monoclinic or triclinic crystalline phase or a combination thereof with oxygen defects. The perovskite compound may have improved lithium ion conductivity due to an optimized lithium concentration at the A sites, and an increased electronic conductivity by introduction of a metal M having a low oxygen vacancy formation energy into the B sites.

For example, the perovskite compound may have a structure including corner-sharing MO₆ octahedra in which six oxygen atoms may form vertices, M may be located at the center of the octahedra, and the vertices of the octahedra are connected to form a space in which for example lanthanum (La), lithium (Li), and vacancies are randomly distributed in a composition ratio. In the perovskite compound, lithium ions may be conducted through a lanthanum (La) vacant layers, and electrons may be conducted through a metal (M) ion layer.

For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the perovskite compound may exhibit a peak near an X-ray diffraction (XRD) angle (2θ) of about 23°, for example, at 23°±2.5°, due to a random distribution of La in each layer.

For example, X-ray diffraction analysis my show that the perovskite compound may have a main peak at a diffraction angle (2θ) of 32.5°±2.5°, and a minor peak(s) at a diffraction angle (2θ) of 46.5°±2.5° and/or a diffraction angle (2θ) of 57.5°±2.5°. The main peak refers to the peak with the highest intensity, and the minor peak refers to a peak with a lower intensity than the main peak.

For example, a ratio (I_(b)/I_(a)) of a peak intensity (I(46.5°±2.5°):I_(b)) at a diffraction angle (2θ) of 46.5°±2.5° to a peak intensity (I(32.5°±2.5°):I_(a)) at a diffraction angle (2θ) of 32.5°±2.5° in an XRD spectra of the perovskite compound may be about 0.1 or greater, e.g., about 1, for example, about 0.1 to about 0.9, for example, about 0.2 to about 0.6. In an embodiment, a ratio (I_(c)/I_(a)) of a peak intensity (I(57.5°±2.5°):I_(c)) at a diffraction angle (2θ) of 57.5°±2.5° to a peak intensity (I(32.5°±2.5°):I_(a)) at a diffraction angle (2θ) of 32.5°±2.5° in an XRD spectra of the perovskite compound may be about 0.1 or greater, for example, about 0.1 to about 0.9, for example, about 0.2 to about 0.8, for example, about 0.2 to about 0.4.

For example, the perovskite compound may include at least one of

According to an aspect, a lithium-air battery includes: a cathode according to the above-described embodiment; an anode including lithium; and an electrolyte between the cathode and the anode.

As the lithium-air battery according to an embodiment uses the cathode including a lithium-containing metal oxide according to the above-described embodiment, the lithium-air battery may have improved structural stability and deterioration of the lithium-air battery may be suppressed.

Since the cathode according to an embodiment is porous and/or gas permeable, diffusion of such as oxygen, air, and the like into the cathode may be facilitated. As migration of lithium ions and/or electrons through the lithium-containing metal oxide in the cathode is facilitated, electrochemical reactions involving oxygen, lithium ions, and electrons in the cathode may be facilitated.

However, embodiments are not limited thereto. Any suitable binder available in the art may be used.

For example, the cathode may be manufactured by mixing a conductive material, a catalyst for oxidation/reduction of oxygen, and a binder together, and adding a solvent to the resulting mixture to prepare a cathode slurry, coating the cathode slurry on a surface of a base, drying the coated cathode slurry, and press-molding the cathode slurry against the base to improve a density of the electrode. The base may be, for example, a cathode current collector, a separator, or a solid electrolyte membrane. The cathode current collector may be, for example, a gas diffusion layer.
